To the Applicants:

In the midst of rapidly changing times, the Graduate School of Science and Technology has established the three sub-schools of Fundamental Science and Technology, Integrated Design Engineering, and Science for Open and Environmental Systems in order to cultivate technological specialists who will shoulder the future of society. We have set up the following admissions policy.

Admissions policy The Graduate School welcomes applications from a wide range of individuals with the ability to think and act for themselves, who seek to become creative scientists and engineers capable of playing leading roles in a range of fields on the global stage in the borderless world of the 21st century. Applicants should have a particular interest in science and mathematics subjects that form the foundations of manufacturing (such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry). They should have a basic academic competency in these subjects, and be interested in acquiring the communication skills needed to be successful in the international arena. We particularly invite applications from: (1) Individuals who have a strong interest in science and technology. (2) Individuals who can think critically and are interested in discovering intriguing phenomena and solving problems. (3) Individuals who are interested in new things and seek the challenge of generating innovation.

Using the foundations learned in their undergraduate faculties, each of our students learn how to solve problems on their own in an organization which conducts trans-disciplinary education that traverses specialized fields in a flexible educational and research environment. In this graduate program, we encourage students to learn autonomously and to open up future paths and possibilities with their own two hands. We create a system which supports this. Moreover, we clarify a Ph.D. diploma policy in which students decide for themselves whether they have the academic achievements to merit completion. It is our hope that understanding this policy will allow students to finish their programs early, depending on their ability and efforts. For more on our diploma policy refer to the following link: http://www.gakuji.keio.ac.jp/en/yagami/in-policy.html Furthermore, the door to our Ph.D. program is wide open. Students can enroll while being employed at companies or organizations. Please work out your own academic plan and learn in the graduate program while continuing to work in society. Detailed information is described in the handbook which introduced the Graduate School of Science and Technology “Emerging 2020” (updated in mid-April), so read over it carefully, and apply for your desired major after understanding the purpose and organization of our school. We look forward to many applications.

Admission System

The entrance examination for the Ph.D. Program is held four times a year, in February, April, July and December. This guidebook explains about the entrance examinations held in February (D2) and July (D7). For the entrance examinations held in April and December, please refer to the “International Graduate Program (IGP).” The requirements differ between D7/D2 and IGP. The D7 and D2 entrance examinations are in principle carried out by document screening, but some applicants may be required to take an oral examination. Students with a master’s degree or equivalent academic capabilities are eligible to take either entrance examination. Current master’s students who will be completing their master’s degree before the enrollment period can also take either entrance examination. Students who take the July examination can choose either September or April enrollment. If students take the February examination, only the April enrollment is possible. Students can be enrolled in the Ph.D. Program while they are employed at companies or organizations. These applicants also need to apply for the same examinations. Refer to the entrance examination flow chart and after grasping the general schedule, read instructions carefully and conduct the application procedures that apply to you.

Measures Undertaken to Prevent the Spread of Infectious Disease

Applicants who were exposed to infectious disease specified by School Health and Safety Act and not yet cured of such disease by the day of examination must refrain from taking examinations in order to prevent the spread of disease. Exceptions may be made for applicants who have been infected but are diagnosed by a doctor or a school doctor that their condition has improved and their presence does not place others at risk of exposure to infection. In principle, the graduate school does not reschedule examinations and/or refund screening fees in the event applicants are unable to sit for examination due to such causes.
